[ADXA] KH1 Baker Island

[HamOP]

Great Bruce!! Congrats… 
Yes, only checking each day and every hour or two during that day, does one get rewarded as you just did. Some who work have to really attack the DX before and after supper or get up early before going to work. Others who are retired have a distinct advantage of not being at work for 8-10 hours. Each has his own situation; below average antennas, low power or a KW with good monobander antennas. Sure makes things fun and rewarding when you persist and win in the long run. Again, congrats. That is what “chasing DX” means. Two more days and hopefully another band for you!!

I had just about given up on KH1 and it looked like I was running out of out of time, after a couple of fruitless early morning attempts. But when I came home from dinner tonight they were on 20 CW louder than I'd heard them yet. So I dived into the pileup and got them in the log after only 20 minutes or so. That felt good.

Well, been up since 1AM and seems like all bands in use are in FT8 mode of some sort, it varies. You might know they are NOT on SSB or CW on 40 or 80m. So, guess back to bed and maybe awaken at 6AM or so. Appears the ops are very hot and tired and most are trying to sleep some even tho just an hour past their sunset. Chasing DX is a challenge. Have Baker Island on all bands from past years but RTTY was an ATNO and now only need 60m QSO. Unfortunately they will only be on a short time tomorrow nite I am told. 
Gud luck DXing guys, I am sure nobody in the ADXA is up at this time.. HI
